Proving Ancestry Through DNA:
DNA 'triangulation' is the definitive way to prove if someone shares the same ancestors as you. Absence of triangulation does not mean you are not related, but presence confirms that you are. The further back descendants are the less likely triangulation will occur. It would mean you and 2 other people (triangle) all inherited the same bit of DNA from that ancestor. Two close family members triangulating with someone removed from the family can help identify descendants from common ancestors. To triangulate it needs to be on the same chromosome and matching the same specific DNA segment.
DNA matching is determined by the shared "centimorgans" (cM). The higher the cM the greater the chance it is recent genetic connection. https://help.familytreedna.com/hc/en-us/articles/4418230173967#h_01HF7EYX9M0YX3KE2G7DH447QV
Using MyHeritage for DNA triangulation: It's free use their triangulation tool, you can even use it if your DNA test was done on another site. This link explains how to use it: [https://blog.kittycooper.com/2018/04/myheritage-dna-matching-excellent-enhancem ]
